Face unlock, Distorted front camera?

Hey guys! Thanks for the ROM, I'm currently downloading it now, but after checking the known issues, I am wondering how the face unlock can work, if the front facing camera is distorted?

Thanks!

Declan.

:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vasillek:
lol =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Answer...it doesn't seem to be working so great yet. It is a feature in progress. However I can't imagine it is a show stopper for anyone.

I mean...unlocking your phone with your face? Cute...but hardly a mission critical feature unless you have no hands, and in that case how are you holding the phone to look at the camera?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jacobuscuracao:
I've seen it, too. Some will restore, some won't.

I think the ones that don't restore are simply not compatible and/or you should install from Market directly to avoid version trouble

how big is the /datadata partition?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ramas123:
Wipe/factory reset
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] daenney:
I haven't seen it before either so:

/datadata is too small

Android didn't use to complain about it

/datadata is the same size but for some reason it gets more (ab)used in ICS

If I believe df, /datata is about 160MB in size (currently 115MB in used in my case).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] D33KK:
Thank you for taking the piss out of my question, while your at it could you answer another?

I have flashed both, the face unlock and the ROM, and when I got into security>screen lock there is no face unlock, only None, Slide, pattern and pin.

How do I enable it?

:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Leegalaxy:
Just flash face unlock again. That'll fix it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] D33KK:
Thanks for quick response, however it didn't fix it.

There are times for me with a major slowdowns after using heavy apps and games like Google Maps, NFS HP and combination of them or other apps and games.

I do hope it will be solved sometime, too, but do remember that this ROM is under heavy development right now it will get better and better over time.

One more thing, I believe that ICS puts heavier load on our Galaxy, so I'm not sure it will be as agile and quick as GB based ROMs.

Btw the face unlock has a back-up and that' s pin... if I'm correct you need to insert both the first time so if something goes wrong with face unlock you can still unlock it by pin

For me, is 160mb, and also I need more space.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sm0L:
ICS Build 7 is notifying me that i don't have enough storage space but it's wrong because when i press the warning in the notification bar i see that i have 1,8GB free and only 83Mb used, i only have like 33 apps installed.

Anyone has this issue too?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ale0crysis:
From my guide

#Bug Low Memory Storage

If you are going to install a lot of BIG APPS like Games etc (even if your internal sd memory is not full) your Galaxy S will give you a notification error about it, it seems the phone doesn't see the real limit of the APPS installed in the internal SD card .

I've solved this low memory storage bug in this simple way : i've installed APP TO SD (you will find it in market) and moved all big apps in the external SD and now i'm restoring without problems everything i want and the notification error has disappeared, and your GS will come back smooth and with no issues!

;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] victorhooi:
heya,

Yeah, I have the same issue with "Phone storage is low" as well.

ICS (Build 7) is telling me I'm out of space, yet I have 132 Mb used, 1.7 Gb free...most strange.

At first, I thought it might be Google Music caching offline music, but that should show in the used space.

Does anybody have a solution to this?

Is it something to do with the partitioning?

Cheers,

Victor
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Joans:
It's /datadata that's getting filled up. Go into Manage Apps > All > Sort by Size and see what's taking up all the space.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] victorhooi:
Hi,

Hmm, I'm not sure that makes sense - the internal SD card is around 2 Gb in size - mine is reporting 1.7 Gb free, and 132 Mb free.

Even with all the apps I have installed:

Chrome to Phone

Google Currents

Google Docs

Dropbox

Google Goggles

Google Reader

Google Maps

Market Enabler

Google Music

Google Street View

Swype

Swype Installer

Tripview

Twitter

I'm very certain that doesn't make for 2 Gb of application. Heck, at 20 Mb each (most of those are actually 5-10 Mb), that's still only 280 Mb...

Hence, I don't think this is simply a reporting issue of it not counting App storage.

Can anybody confirm if there are known space issue with Build 7? Root cause?

Cheers,

Victor

Hi,

Hmm, that make sense then =).

So is it simply a partitioning thing?

How big is /datadata by default? I think I seem to remember a mention about this a couple hundred pages back...haha.

Is there any way to enlarge it, or fix this issue?

And I've just noticed it's now the latest question on the FAQ page =).

Cheers,

Victor
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Leegalaxy:
I had this same issue and unfortunately, the guide didn't seem useful because the message is not true. Moving apps to SD doesn't work. The message just popped up again. Plus, ICS has a built in move to sd feature... I actually reinstalled build 7 and gapps and the message has vanished.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ale0crysis:
Before finding that solution i've tested very hard this cm build and i had tryed the option format datadata too from Recovery, wrong choice, i had lost all my data APPS..so restored everything from 0 etc etc and than tryed that "temporary fix" and it works, this is the important, we have to wait a real fix for next release of course.

you are the first person who say that solution doesn't work :confused: i've almost 200 APPS installed inside my GS and 0 issues until now..

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] currydude:
Just curious with the naming of the ICS ROM (teamhacksung_galaxysmtd-ota-eng.BUILD1.zip) The ota suggests that it's over-the-air, so does that mean that we can make future updates through some kind of app? Maybe in About phone > System Updates? o.O What's more interesting is that pressing on "Check Now" indicates that the device is up to date ... and in which case it is LOL

How to install this when being on onecosmic's version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dawgpound6985:
Woohoo got Google Music to update! Here are the steps:

1. Delete Music2.apk from /system/app/ using Root Explorer or Titanium Backup

2. (Optional Step) Use SD Maid to search for any Corpse and delete them

3. (Important, MUST do) Reboot the phone

4. Install Google Music from Market. Done

5. (Optional) Move the com.googlemusic.apk from data/app/ folder to /system/app/ and change permissions rw-r--r--

6. Reboot and enjoy.

Here's the Equalizer in the new Google Music:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dawgpound6985:
Yes its Google Music 4.0.9. Just follow the steps I put down.

You have to uninstall the Music2.apk found in /system/app/ using Root Explorer or Titanium Backup. Then reboot your phone. (I also ran SD Maid to remove any corpse left behind by Music2.apk) After reboot, just install Google Music through Market. I was getting an incompatible error before. I don't see why you couldn't install it through Root Explorer but I haven't tried.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Leegalaxy:
I don't mean to sound like a jerk. It's just that you had 200 apps installed and I had 50. We both got the low space message. Clearly it isn't related to space on the phone. I suspect your fix is a coincidence. When someone reports that they are getting the low space message, you automatically tell them that the fix is in your guide. But it isn't. Your guide is just a less well written version of the OP with a few other things thrown in.

Instead of saying "hey, I have never this problem and such smoothness with 259 apps" try "you know, I had that same problem and x seemed to fix it for me".

I'm just sayin

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] victorhooi:
heya,

Regarding the low space warnings:

In my case, it turns out it was the Gmail cache that was causing the issue.

The /datadata partition is 170Mb, Gmail was setup to cache 30 days of email locally, and this took up some 90 Mb. I didn't check where the remainder went, however, clearing the Gmail cache, and reducing the number of days to 10 seems to have solved the issue for now.

Also - in answer to @ale0crysis and @Leegalaxy - have a look at what's actually in /datadata - it's all cache information for your application.

It's got nothing to do with what's installed, and moving other binaries to the external SD card isn't going to do squat. So @Leegalaxy is right here.

So for example, Gmail isn't installed in /data/data, however, it does place all it's cache files there. If an application can't be moved to external, and it insists on placing all it's cache files there, there's nothing you can do about it.

However, that brings us back to the original question - why is the /datadata partition sized at 170 Mb, and why is this causing so many users issues under ICS?

/datadata (rather than /data/data) appears to be a idiosyncrancy of Cyanogeod - there's an explanation of it here:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/29756-datadata-partition-size/

I don't know if applications under ICS use /data/data for caching more aggressively or something, but it'd be nice if the issue could be nixed once and for all. What do you guys think?

Cheers,

Victor

Only custom kernels will have that option.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] diablosv36:
As far I know it is not a bug, it's been part of cm7 all along, the cm team decided to use a faster part of the flash memory for datadata, unfortunately it is small, I know it is possible to change to how it was like on Samsung roms for cm7, but I don't know if it is possinle with these ICS builds.

I personally prefer to have like the Samsung way because I honestly can't tell the difference in performance much, they both lag at times anyway.

Ive seen this before, on cm7 and even miui.

Its about our crappy sgs has messed partitions from beginning.

Datadata partition is small and nowadays many new apps are writing lot of data into it.

Why cannot it be redirected to standard phone memory? is that so slow?

I would sacrifice bit of speed to not being pissed every two days with datadata full.

I think that future of our beloved sgs lies in solving this factory bug(or feat, if you want to call it that way).

F.E. gmail can easily take 130mb of datadata partition, but also lot of games etc...

its about construction of crappy sgs

it has two different memories... one is movinand and second is onenand...

i dunno exactly which one is which, but datadata seems to make problems when moved to slower internal phone memory, crap!

its alias to data/data/ folder, which should be part of internal phone memory, but its for some reason only 170mb piece of another flash memory

Moving apps to sd does save /datadata space for applications that have large native libraries (e.g. games).
